Today Linda and I were Mom's dates! She treated us to lunch at Perkins, with Linda being the driver, for Mom's Ladies' Aid end-of-year outing. She had a tough time figuring out what to wear, and just before Linda came over, decided to change into a more summery top. We sat at the table and chatted for a bit, and something Linda said made Mom laugh. I caught the greatest picture of her. Linda had given Mom an extra orange peeler she had on hand but am not sure if that made her laugh or not.
There was a nice group gathered, including some husbands, plus the two pastors. We late comers got to sit on the end of the table with Pastor Schaefer and Anna, with baby Alice. She ate all my applesauce which was perfect because she was so hungry!
On this end of the table you can see the baby plus her parents and Mom. I was seated next to Mom and Linda next to Pastor. On the other end is a lady who is even older than Mom!
After the luncheon, Linda and I dropped Mom off at home and then we went over to her house. Linda was making sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes for our dinner, which she served over rice. Delicious! She made the mistake of telling me it was turkey sausage but it sure did taste good!
In the smaller pan is the sausage, cut into teeny pieces
From her house we went to a member's home for Bible study. Kathy W. again leads this study, and presently they are hosted by Jean, a former teacher at FG. She retired due to ill health but is making a good recovery right now. Anyway, this study was in I Cornithians 14 and again was most interesting. All the ladies present tonight were from FG but other times there are attendees from elsewhere. I loved it, such good material we covered. What a great day filled to the brim with time spent with members from FG in social settings!
